Although I find myself gravitating more towards a clean and simple style in general, sometimes it's just fun to get shabby chic. I began by stamping and embossing the angel, and then I stamped all the dots. I sprinkled the Frantage powders on one at a time, trying to get a good mix of the three colours. The silver really doesn't stand out, but it's there! Then I tore the edges of the vellum to size, and stitched it over top of the doily & patterned paper. I didn't want to take away from the effect of the torn vellum so I just stitched enough to keep the vellum securely attached.

This ribbon has been in my stash for a while - it's absolutely gorgeously shimmery, and although I've tried to use it a few times, it must have been waiting for this! I sewed the bow on, and then strung the bells to nestle underneath it. I do so love a jingly card!

You make the most gorgeous cards! :) I hope you don't mind the follow! I'm also from the Sackville area, and have a son with autism. :) I've heard many great things about you! You're so unbelievably talented! I look forward to seeing more of your creations!! (Hope this doesn't sound too stalker-ish haha! I just really adore your work.)

About Me

I am a stay-at-home mom to two great boys, both with autism. I'm sure that will come up often! I also design handmade cards & can be found at Sackville, NB's Farmers Market every Saturday morning, held at the Bridge Street Cafe.
